Geography
It contains a mixture of houses and farm buildings, all brick built, and [https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/48437 stands] on the north bank of the River Witham 200m from the [https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/142916 river]. The parish primary school is in South Hykeham.[http://www.south-hykeham.lincs.sch.uk South Hykeham Primary School]. Retrieved 15 August 2011
Earthworks
Between the hamlet and the river are the earthworks of what appears to be a considerable manorial complex or grange. However, it has not so far been possible to carry out the archaeological work needed to positively identify them. The complex consists chiefly of one more or less square moated area of 30m by 40m, surrounded by water-filled ditches. A rectangular platform which lies to the west is partly ditched and approximately 100m across; it has the appearance of part of a formal garden. There is a narrow bank across it 20m from the west end, which may conceal a buried wall; it encloses part of the west end, but is unclear at its southern corner. A 30m length of water may have been a symmetrical pond. The remainder of the earthworks continue on a layout almost at right angles to the rest.{{cite web|last=Roffe|first=David|title=Haddington, Hall Close|url=http://www.roffe.co.uk/earthworks/moats/haddington.htm|accessdate=14 August 2013}} What is only [https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/48434 visible] is a medieval dovecote.{{cite PastScape |mnumber=326383 |mname=Haddington Hall|accessdate=11 December 2014}}
